[RFC/PATCH] git.spec: fix changelog dates

A few changelog entries have inconsistent dates, which rpmlint reports as errors.

Fix them based on these assumptions:
- It's easier to mistype a number than a weekday abbreviation.
- changelog date must be before git commit date
- The mistyped date is just a few days off.

I dunno if this is worthwhile, but rpmlint is the first thing we tell
packagers and reviewers to check.
